Add 1 cup of evaporated milk to the dry ingredients.

Add 2 tablespoons of softened butter and 2 tablespoons of vegetable shortening to the mixture.

Knead the dough for 8 to 10 minutes.

Transfer the dough to a greased bowl and cover with plastic wrap to prevent drying out.

Let the dough rise in a warm place for 45 minutes to 1 hour.

After the dough has risen, knead it for 1 minute.

Grease parchment paper with butter to prevent sticking.

Cut the dough into four equal parts and roll each part into logs.

Pinch the seams of each log to prevent them from busting open.

Place the logs on a baking sheet and optionally brush with butter on top.

Cover the logs with plastic wrap to prevent drying out and let them rise for another 30 minutes.

Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).
